We're currently looking to start a family, so I thought I'd hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

Dad's of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D
Ugh. Remember when you could search for a video on youtube and it was just a page full of results? I remember.
I had this same issue recently when I searched for something innocuous (ways to put up my long hair in a bun) and was served clickbait shock videos of anorexic women and other nonsense.
You are getting plenty of amazing advice on fathering from other dads here, but I wanted to pop in with a suggestion regarding youtube.
After that last interaction with youtube I ended up down the rabbit hole looking for a fix. I tried a few browser addons but none seemed to work properly, but then I heard about youtube front ends.
This one is "invidious"
And this one is "piped"
In both you connect to an "instance" like lemmy does, which can impact their performance. I haven't chosen my favourite yet, invidious seems to perform better sometimes, but I like the ui of piped.
Congratulations to you and your growing family. <3
Edit: Here is a bonus screengrab with your search terms, there is still a lot of "how to have a boy" stuff, but some videos with general advice, being supportive, and fertility in general.
